- '67 CJ5A Tuxedo Park, Dauntless 225 V6, T86 trans, Spicer 18 tc, D27 front, D44 rear, 3.73:1 gears. Pretty much unmolested mechanically.
Daily driver is a 06 Durango SLT Hemi.
I used to have a 51 Willys pickup and a 72 Commando.
I got my tailgate rebuilt, I cut the rotten bottom off and put in a replacement piece I made from a piece of conduit and a piece of 1/8" flat stock. Built a new frame with 1 1/2" x 1/8" angle and salvaged the hardware.

I also got my parts from my friend with the sheetmetal shop. We made back corners, rocker panels, floor pans, fender corners,and some material for misc. patches and pieces. He made the main bends for me and I'll do the fitting in my shop.
